Pablo Zabaleta was unlucky in two ways – firstly, he suffered this injury during a training session colliding with his teammates defender David Garcia and goalkeeper Horka Iraizoz; secondly, this happened on his 22nd birthday.
The defender, who missed the last victorious match with Barcelona, will not be able to help his team in the next seven La Liga matches and will miss the UEFA Cup match with Livorno.
Pablo Zabaleta, former captain of the Argentine youth national team under 20 and champion of the world in 2005, arrived at Espanyol in 2005 for 3 million dollars from the San Lorenzo club.
